Configuring ArcGIS Data Reviewer for Server
Available with Data Reviewer license.
ArcGIS Data Reviewer for Server uses a server object extension (SOE). You must add two services to your ArcGIS site and run a configuration utility to enable Data Reviewer functionality.
Installing ArcGIS Data Reviewer for Server in an ArcGIS for Server multi-machine deployment requires UNC access to the Reviewer workspace.
Once you've completed these steps, you can access ArcGIS Data Reviewer for Server functionality through Flex and JavaScript web clients.
Note:
If you've installed ArcGIS Data Reviewer for Server in an ArcGIS for Server multi-machine deployment and will use scheduled batch validation, you must store batch validation scheduler tables in an enterprise geodatabase.
